Etymology
Borrowed from Middle English mel, from Old English mǣl, from Proto-West Germanic *māl, from Proto-Germanic *mēlą, from Proto-Indo-European *meh₁- (“to measure”). The m was changed to b as a back-formation from the mutated forms, where *méile and *mhéile were reinterpreted as mbéile and bhéile. See: Middle English Nouns '
mel'.
